Man issued with UK-first order sent to prison after breaching it within weeks

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

A man has been jailed after breaching an order issued earlier this month under new powers given to Greater Manchester Police.

Darren Wing, 56, of Harrison Street, Ramsbottom, has been sentenced to 12 weeks after he was caught with a woman he was banned from contacting at a café.

He had previously subjected her to coercive and controlling behaviour and physical abuse. The Domestic Abuse Protection Order issued last Thursday (December 5) was one of the first in UK.

It comes after the government gave GMP powers to trial the new type of order which was launched in Bury last month and will be rolled out elsewhere next year.
